III – Disbelief

The clicking sound of my high heels were the only thing I heard down the halls of Ever After High. Strange… I thought there would at least be someone around. I pulled out my MirrorPhone and glanced at the time. Well… no wonder there wasn't anyone here… it was evening!

Even stranger still, why was there no one in the dorm hallway? I'm so confused I don't even know what to do or where to go. While I'm here I might as well get some studying in I suppose. I carried on towards my locker, spinning the combination and the lock popped open. I grabbed the necessary books I needed to and shut it afterward. I reattached my lock and gave the knob a random spin.

I walked until I reached the school's library. This was my preferred place to study as it was quiet and the ambiance was perfect. I had to work on an essay for one of my classes and it was due by the end of the week and first so I might as well give that a try first.

After setting my books down on the table I decided to grab a couple extra books that may help with my research. There wasn't a scent better than that of timeless literature.

Bump.

"Ahhh!" I screamed out upon being startled. Who the hell?!

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!" Oh… it was Dexter! I could feel my cheeks heat up right away. "You come to the library this late?" He asked me, though I was confused. Who did he think I was? Did I have to be careful of my answers?

'Always be careful.' Ah, thank you. There was my answer. "Sometimes! W-when I can't settle down and y'know, have homework." Damn it Cupid! That's not what Raven would've said…

"That's cool. I come here often after school's done. It's peaceful. The ambiance-"

"Is perfect." I finished for him. His gaze connected with mine.

"Yeah. It is." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"I could use a study-buddy… if you're interested." I urged him slightly but of course it was all up to him in the end result.

His mere smile made me weak in the knees. "Sure."

We sat down together and started on our individual assignments. A few moments later his leg was up against mine and I couldn't think straight. Even though not being able to focus was annoying… I did not want him to move away from me.

'Move things along! You haven't got forever you know…' Gosh she was annoying. Though that was a valid point she made. I stopped writing and put my hand on his.

Dexter's eyes shot open and he stared at me blankly. Oh no… did he still see me as Cupid? Did I just ruin everything? Go back! Go back! Curses!

To my surprise he nervously bit his lip and intertwined our fingers together. Oh gosh, was this going where I thought it was? "Listen… there's something I have to ask you and since it's only the two of us… there's no better a time than now."

Absolutely! Oh, I was supposed to say that out loud. "Of course..." I pursed my lips for a bit of an added touch. "You can tell me anything."

He shied away momentarily but moved even closer. "I've truly liked you for a long time. I just haven't been… well, how can I put this in the least embarrassing manner?"

I reached up and caressed his cheek. "It's not embarrassing Dexter, it's natural."

"I… I've been a coward to admit it. Afraid of what everyone else would think y'know. I mean, me with the future Evil Queen..."

Then it hit me… hard. He wasn't talking about me… to me… he was talking to me about Raven…

'Don't let it distract you! Go for the kill!'

'Kill?!' I questioned internally.

'Hehehe, just a figure of speech dear. Make this moment yours!'

"Hey… are you alright? You look… conflicted."

I sighed. "You've no idea."

He was probably trying to figure out what was wrong. Oh Dexter… if you only knew. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean it in a derogatory manner. I just meant that we're… from two totally different worlds. I should be a lot smoother with words than I am but truthfully… you just being near me makes me nervous as hell."

I sighed and gave him a warm smile. "Don't be. What you're feeling is only natural. Whatever your instinct is… just act on it. Live your happily ever after."

Dexter connected his gaze with mine. Gosh darn it why does that make me so vulnerable? He was moving closer. Why was he doing that? He looked down at my lips and reconnected our gaze. Oh! Oh. Before I could begin to protest his lips touched mine and my heart rate accelerated so quickly I thought it would burst from inside my chest. "D-Dexter..." I began though I was already out of breath.

"Shhh… no need for words." He brushed some hair away from my face and leaned in yet again. The way he kissed was even more perfect than I had ever imagined!

A-ahem… assuming that I ever imagined such a thing. Haha… yeah. I have, lots unfortunately… though I can definitely say that it wasn't what I was expecting… it was even better! When our lips parted I felt an instant emptiness from within. Where were his soft lips and why did they leave mine?

He stood up, taking my hands in his and he pulled me up… wrapping his arms around my small frame. Is it super hot in here or is it just me? I soon found myself being lifted and set down right on the library table. Dexter! Who knew you were so… ambitious? I ran my hands through his hair and held onto it.

He wore somewhat of a devious smile. He then took his glasses off and tossed them to the side. "B-but… don't you need-"

Dexter shushed me and I swallowed hard. "Why do we close our eyes when we kiss?" He asked rhetorically. "Because the important things in life are felt. Not seen."

Oh gosh, he was a romantic soul too? This is far better than I have imagined it could be. "Oh Dex..." My breathing hitched when he headed right for the nape of my neck. He kissed me feverishly… I clutched onto his strong shoulders as he continued the attack on my neck… though I could feel the goosebumps form along my skin as my blouse was being unbuttoned. What a handsome devil!

It wasn't long before most of our clothes were on the floor of the library and I was being lowered to the table beneath me. He reached behind me and unfastened the last part to my undergarment when he planted tiny kisses along my jaw and up to my ear.

"Dexter..." I shivered. It was cold in the library with most of your clothing on the floor.

"Lead me where you'd like… beautiful Raven Queen..." I froze as soon as the familiar name left his mouth. I had almost forgotten the entire ordeal… wrapped up in his arms, only us in the room… a stinging sensation pricked the back of my eyes. Cupid! No! Stop… you will not do this! I… I refuse. "Oh! Did I say something?" He wiped away one of my falling tears and I swatted his hand away.

"D-don't touch me..." He tried again and I pushed him away this time. I gathered the remainder of my clothes off the floor and ran out of the library as fast as my heels would allow me. Everything about this was wrong! I had to get away and re-evaluate everything as soon as possible!

It wasn't until I ran into my dorm room and slammed the door behind me, locking it immediately. I let out a shaky breath and soon crumbled into a sobbing, shaking, half-naked mess.
